mccain never goes off message on campaign finance reform. it had his name on it, and he has never backed down. he's right. so much of the money that comes into to sheldon adelson that is injected in our political system comes from chinese casinos. >> cenk: he takes a tremendous amount of money from money made in china and praises the chinese communist government but then claims he's against outsourcing to china. >> not only that, he repaints what jobs outsourcing china does. he said they only do it to support the jobs over there today. >> cenk: that's not going to work politically. it will be interesting to keep up on that. thank you. when we come back there is one group that keeps winning in the supreme court. this year they've won 100% of the cases. who is this and why? we'll explain when we come back. >> the need is there and the regulatory remedy makes sense. the chamber will support it.
